However the interesting part is the event which will appear with the new release: Battle of Thor’s Hammer, similar to the Japanese Threat event when the KI-162 line was introduced you can win said new tech tree planes by playing the game and most importantly, winning in planes of your chosen faction. gives you points which allows you to open loot boxes which have the chance of dropping these planes including missions which have to be completed in order to keep these planes, the luckiest players may even keep the plane directly without needing to complete missions.

So long story short, you get the chance earn a tier 8, 9 and 10 tech tree plane by merely playing a couple of battles in any plane of your chosen faction.

In fact, there were two actual planes that had supersonic “siblings” – Su-9 and Su-11. The main differences were the engines and their placement – Su-9 had engine nacelles under wings whereas Su-11 had them IN the wings.

This event is going to be really cool. I play the three games (WOT, WOWP, WOWS) and the Japanese Threat, which was mentioned, was the best WG event I’ve ever seen. If this is similar, it will be incredible. I wish WOWS could imitate this and do a similar event (Allies x Axis).
